Mum charged with murder after three dead babies are found in filthy rat-infested home
A mum has been charged with two counts of murder after the remains of three babies were found in the filthy, vermin-infested home she shared with her boyfriend.
Erika Murray, 31, was initially charged with foetal death concealment, witness intimidation and permitting substantial injury to a child.
Her boyfriend, Ray Rivera, is charged with offences including assault and battery on a child and reckless endangerment of a child.
Prosecutors described the horrific conditions that four children – aged from six months to 13 years – were found alive in at the house.
Authorities said there were piles of dirty diapers, rubbish strewn everywhere, and remains of dead animals.
The children were removed from the address in August after a 10-year-old boy went to a neighbour’s house, and asked for help in quieting a crying baby.
The neighbour allegedly discovered a severely neglected six-month-old baby covered in excrement, and a three-year-old child.
After the older children were interviewed, police searched the house in Massachusetts, where they discovered the remains of three babies, MyFoxBoston reports.
Charges have been brought for the murder of two of the babies – one who was wearing a onesie, and the other who was in a diaper.
It is believed that that third dead infant still had its placenta attached, and Murray has therefore not been charged with its murder.
She is being held on $1million bail after pleading not guilty to the offences she was first charged with. Murray is yet to enter pleas to the murder charge.
The prosecutor said in court that DNA proves Rivera is also the father of all seven children that lived in the home, and quoted a paediatrician as saying this was worst case of extreme neglect she has ever seen.
The judge set bail for Rivera at $100,000 – he denies all the charges against him.
The house that the couple shared was condemned and has since been demolished.

This couple can’t be in their right senses o. Abi how do we explain this? A lot of evil happening all around the world. The end time is really at hand.
Some people are simply not fit to have kids!
Gosh what a murderous, filthy couple disgusting people ! I hope they go to jail for a very long time. And the poor surviving kids are well taken care of
God Wat is ds? How can a woman allow her children to b neglected just bc of a man.this is weird.a little boy even having compassion more than a mother? Ds is really end times.
Read ds again.i think there’s more to ds crime.d authorities shld check well maybe they kidnapped those kids given dat d ones who died r all babies.may God guide our kids
They did a DNA test they are all their kids disgusting creatures
I saw dat Regina but d age differences is Wat is making me doubt dat. Anyway my own is hope she gets d electric chair cos she is not fit to live
& imagine d filthy place they live in.hiw can they even eat or even play their stupid love in such a stinking environment wt even d stench of her decaying kids r & she in particular was comfortable. She must b a really low life human being
So they have such amounnt of money and they are living in a such house or could it be they had that filthy and stinky place onl purpose? When ever I or hear this kind of thing I begin to wonder if d mother actually carried her pregnancy for 9 months or that she got pregnant and delivered in one particular day.
But come to think of it, seven children for a boyfriend, isn’t that absurd?
What? Why kind of wickedness in the highest place is this? Am sure this is woman is snifing the life out of this children for mere wickedness,things r happening in this world o,can anythin breathing last long in this kind of a fifty place place,God has a lot of judgments to do ooo
Innocent children. Wat a wicked world
Honestly some parents have no business giving birth at all. I’m sure she’s no longer human.
Some of this wwhite ladies are very dirty. See house. God forbid. May the soul of the kids rip
It’s really absurd. God will help us.
I don’t think both of them gave birth to the kids together, but since d DNA said that d BF fathered all d seven kids which means their mothers should be sought after bcos they may even have been eliminated by d couple as well.
Yeah dats anor angle to it. Maybe d mums r different. Na waah o .very risky to have anything to do wt a psycho
Awe! This world why is it that children always fall victim of all sort of abomination ,truthfully it’s not everyone that give birth that is fit to be called a mother.
this is really weird.
I think she and her boy friend have mental issue!
the Holy bible says we should suffer no witch to live so may God judge her accondly
Some pple re not worth to hv kids at all. God hv mercy
Unbelievable..How can they be the parents of these kids.I just find it hard to believe.They are mentally retarded cos I don’t understand how someone will leave her children in that condition,even left the dead ones in the house,and they are comfortable in it.Dirty diapers,dead animals?Heii..God have mercy
What is it with women and killing of their children this days? Inshort what is it with people killing kids in general this days? God please come to our rescue
